Q&A: What sort of national security briefings do former U.S. presidents receive?

Question by Abby Normal: What sort of national security briefings do former U.S. presidents receive?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that all former presidents still receive national security briefings.

I can’t imagine that they would receive briefings as in-depth as the current president does. Do former presidents just receive the very basics or what?

Does a president just out of office, such as Bush, receive a more in-depth briefing than one long out of office, such as Jimmy Carter or the first Bush?

Thanks!

They have no need to know.

Is that Egor or Igor?

Fleming Says President’s Supreme Court Nomination Surrender to Extremists

Fleming Says President’s Supreme Court Nomination Surrender to Extremists










Clinton, MS (PRWEB) November 2, 2005

State Representative Erik R. Fleming, D-Clinton, an announced Democratic candidate for the US Senate in 2006, offered a response today to President Bush’s nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the United States Supreme Court.

Fleming said: “It is with deep regret to hear that the President has nominated Federal District Judge Samuel Alito to be his nominee for the United States Supreme Court in an apparent surrender to the extremist faction of his party.

“Alito has been referred to as ‘Scalia-like’ in his position on the federal bench, which cannot bode well for the majority of American citizens, whose human rights and constitutional rights hang in the balance.

“It is important that the Supreme Court be a bastion of protection against those who seek to abandon the fundamental concept that the United States Constitution is a living, breathing document. Those strict constructionists would have opposed the very decisions that Rosa Parks and others fought so valiantly for. Any attempt to appease this constituency is, in my opinion, a detrimental mistake for the sake of political gain.

“Whereas the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Court was filled with concerns about her judicial and constitutional competency, at least the thought process of seeking a moderate jurist to replace a moderate jurist was commendable. I am disappointed that the President has decided at this time in American political history to abandon that strategy in order to mend political fences.

“It was my hope that the President would have stayed above the partisan fray, as he did with the Roberts nomination. However, it is obvious that he has chosen not to do so, and that is indeed disappointing.”

Presidents & Congress Ignoring the Constitution – Judge Napolitano


Is the government we have today what the founders had in mind? Everyone in government takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, but few do so. Beginning with John Adams, and proceeding to Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and George W. Bush, congress has enacted and the President has signed laws that have criminalized political speech, suspended Habeas Corpus, compelled support for war, forbade the freedom of contract, allowed the government to spy on Americans without a search warrant, and use tax payer dollars to shore up failing private banks. All of this legislation is so obviously in conflict with the plain words of the Constitution, that one wonders how Congress gets away with it. The truth is, that the Constitution grants Congress 17 specific delegated powers, and commands in the 9th and 10th Amendments, that the powers not articulated and thus not delegated by the Constitution to the Congress, must be reserved to the states and the people. What’s more, Congress can only use it’s delegated powers to legislate for what we call the general welfare. Meaning it cannot spend tax dollars on individuals or selected groups, but only for all of us. And, Congress cannot deny the equal protection of the laws, thus, it must treat similarly situated entities in a similar manner. It is clear that the framers wrote a constitution, as a result of which, contracts would be enforced, risk would be real, choices would be free and have consequences, and private property would be …
